XRANK: Ranked Keyword Search over XML Documents

Summary: XRANK enables ranked keyword search over hierarchical XML by ranking at the element level rather than whole documents. It handles XML-specific proximity and nesting, delivering space and time gains while generalizing HTML search to mixed HTML/XML corpora. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
